The received wisdom around here is that you never try to push start an auto (or tiptronic for that matter) it just doesn't work. We did try push starting a tractor once (I was very young) and...

Welcome to the forum
Welcome to the forum.
Welcome to the forum.
I think you need a new garage and mechanic more than a new vehicle!
I also have a bit of white smoke on start up, but assumed that this was normal for a diesel on starting - it does take them a while to warm up, and the glow plugs just heat the chambers briefly - the...
Speaking as a Canadian, a lot of parts are hard to find. Oddly enough, I have found that air filters are currently the most difficult (and most commonly needed) replacement part.
We don't use...
Welcome to the forum. I'm new myself, but have found reading the various postings to be very useful
Welcome. I agree, it is a great forum.
Welcome to the forum. I have a 93 Safari (JDM grey market import). Starting at -15 is very impressive.
Welcome. I'm new myself and also a new Patrol owner.
Sad to hear and I hope it is found. Thieves are a problem here as well. Do you use bars on the wheel in Oz?
I would like to second Cuppa's request to see a picture of one of these installed under the bonnet. It does sound like a good idea if there is space.
I've never heard of this system before, but can see the benefits for the emissions regulations here in British Columbia. However, I am still unclear - do these systems (diesel-gas) use the same...
Sounds like a nice trip. What's the weather like in the north in winter? Wet?
Hmmm... I have only had a diesel for a bit, but have driven them extensively - both tractors and cars and I think I spot a flaw here. Black, Blue and White smoke in quantity is bad, but in cold...
Hello and welcome to the forum.
Welcome Matt
I'm new myself, both to the forum and to patrol ownership. They do seem pretty solid compared to my old toyota.
Welcome Marinus,
It sounds like you are better at improvisation than me. I wouldn't have thought of the banana.
Do you not still have different sizes of tow balls? We just swapped one out of the receiver that was too big (2 inch vs. 1 1/2 inch) for the trailer hitch.
I've thought about that - although they are not that cheaper here in Canada. The main issue is making sure I don't buy the wrong one - the code on my existing filter is not getting any hits and the...
And yes, that is ice visible in the first one. Over a foot of snow last week around here. You can see why I bought the Patrol.
Here's a couple of the engine compartment.
Sorry, that should be SHOPS try to sell me. The owners manual is not much use, BTW - since I do not read Japanese and have no one to translate.
I've just purchased a JDM Safari TD42t that comes with a round canister style filter housing, with a filter in it that has a D6329/A5061011 set of numbers on it. It is completely different from the...
